Branching processes are used to model diverse social and physical scenarios, from extinction of family names to nuclear fission. However, for a better description of natural phenomena, such as viral epidemics in cellular tissues, animal…

Motivation: Over the past decade, network-based approaches have proven useful in identifying disease modules within the human interactome, often providing insights into key mechanisms and guiding the quest for therapeutic targets. This is…

We consider a particular Branching Random Walk in Random Environment (BRWRE) on $\sN_0$ started with one particle at the origin. Particles reproduce according to an offspring distribution (which depends on the location) and move either one…
